Having a cube of gold with 25 mm side and 2 cubes of gold having side 24mm and 7mm are not same.

Explanation:

Volume of 1 cube of side 25 mm= 25 x 25 x 25

= 15625 cubic mm

Volume of cube side 24mm = 24 x 24 x 24

= 13824 cubic mm

Volume of cube side 7mm = 7 x 7 x 7

= 343 cubic mm

Volume of 2 cubes = 13824 + 343

= 14167 cubic mm

Having a cube of gold with 25 mm side and 2 cubes of gold having side 24mm and 7mm are not same.
